Hello everybody!

Hi Kerstin! Yay for another Californian. I'm down by Modesto. I'd happily trade Tahoe for Modesto. I'm not a big fan of the valley.

Your orchids are beautiful! I envy your Cyp in the garden. Summers are so hot and dry here in the valley it would croak for sure in my garden!

Thanks for the welcome, Nichole! I'd always wanted to have a Cyp in the garden. I was surprised to find Tahoe had a climate some Cyps thrive in. One thing that's not possible here is growing any kind of vegetable. We have surprise freezes year-round because we live in a low spot which collects cold air at night.
